Professional

Lovat is an amazing instructor with a high level of patients. Very professional business. Every lesson is beneficial and can take something different away from every lesson. In under a year I was able to pass both my theory and practical driving test thanks to Lovat with great confidence. I would highly recommend Lovat at X-cel Driving School for a pass in driving.😀 Driving test pass

Great experience

Lovat taught my son to drive, having previously taught my daughter. Both passed first time and are confident and competent drivers. Lovat is a patient, methodical instructor who teaches pupils how to drive well rather than just how to pass the driving test. Routes are planned and varied to ensure good experience for the learner. All aspects of driving are covered and revisited as often as needed. Lesson times were also flexible to suit school and work hours. I would definitely recommend X-cel Driving School.

Great learning experience!

X-cel driving school’s instructors and programs have helped me immensely from the start to achieving my driving certifications. The instructors are very friendly, patient and provide excellent advice to improve your practical driving and driving knowledge.

Great instructor

If you are wanting learn from a great instructor and great program, then look no further. From start to end this entire process was excellent. I can not recommend this driving school enough.! Lovat’s dedication is paramount in making your driving experience a great and hassle free one. The website is set up to help (make use of this.!) and every lesson goals (set the week before), is the reason I was so successful in passing my driving practical test.

Excellent experience, successful result

Excellent Program. I chose X-cel Driving School to help me prepare for my practical driving test in Dumbarton (May ’21). Mark’s guidance helped me feel confident in my abilities and ultimately resulted in me passing my exam. The program consists of intuitive online tutorials as well as focused and well-structured driving lessons. I would summarize the approach to learning as invested and adaptable to student needs. After each lesson we would review what went well and what didn’t and create a lesson plan for our next meeting. Mark was as pleased as I was with my successful result and I believe this speaks volumes to the commitment this school has to their students. I would recommend X-cel to friends and family without any hesitation.

Become a good and confident driver with this great instructor!

My son Theo passed his test first time with Lovat as his driving instructor. He did all his driving with Lovat from very his first time in the driving seat to passing his test as there was no chance to practise with any family member etc. Theo found Lovat’s teaching methodical, clear and thorough as well as supportive. Most importantly he felt really well prepared and equipped for the world of driving, not just for the test itself. He was given a very wide range of driving experiences including a lesson that he specially requested of going up the loch side and through the glens. I would definitely recommend Lovat to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

Great instructor!

I have been with various driving instructors and found that with the help of Lovat and her husband Mark I was able to vastly improve my confidence and able to gain my pass. As a learner you are always given the opportunity to stop and reflect on situations after they happen which I felt was very helpful and also reflect on a lesson as a whole in both a positive and constructive manner. Very happy with all of the teaching I received and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor! Driving test pass

Top quality teaching

I would highly recommend this driving school. Lovat goes above and beyond for her pupils. My daughter certainly wasn’t a natural but after lessons with Lovat and passing her test I feel really safe when I’m in the passenger seat while my daughters driving. I can’t thank Lovat enough!
